Interesting concept of including pasta dishes and sushi at a Mexican food restaurant. I tried the seafood fettuccine, and it was okay. I enjoyed the murals and the music. The price points are a bit high. And hours of operation are limited. But, maybe I'll return to try the actual Mexican food. read more

This was a better late than never post Valentine's Day celebration for me. I have been wanting to try this place for months, but not alone. Finally, someone with the same cravings brought me here. It was a slow weekday night. We were the only customers there, so for a second, I thought my date booked the whole restaurant (what, a woman can wish can't she?). Our waiter Michael O. was AMAZING. He did a few awesome fire displays with our drinks, and calaveras! I enjoyed his energy as much as I enjoyed the food. I had the Valentine's Day special, which included a nice sized steak and a lobster. The flavor in the steak was perfect. Nicely seasoned, and tender. I ate the lobster so fast yal, I don't remember what it tasted like. But I assure you, it must have been good lol. read more

I love the presentation, the ambiance, and the attention to detail in their plates and cocktails. Make this your next special occasion to celebrate or a romantic date night! First things first, make sure you make your reservation ahead of time. We had our reservation at 5:45pm on a Saturday and only waited 5 mins to be seated. The cocktails are amazing. We tried the BBL, El Cántaro, the Pasión Traicionera, and La Toxica - can't go wrong with any of them! The BBL was our favorite with the tamarindo tequila and spicy citrus kick to it. The Pasión Traicionera was well presented, the drink arrived on fire, and it tasted as if you were sipping this drink on a tropical beach. We tried the steak pasta and the ribeye steak. The steak pasta was full of flavor and has a nice spicy kick to it! The portion was a great size, and I would get it again. I wished it came with vegetables; however, you can add a side to it for an additional charge. I recommend you upgrade your steak plate to prime style so you can have the sides of mashed potatoes, asparagus, and sauteed onions because the steak plates do not come with sides. We were not disappointed with our experience. There is a fire dancer show that starts later in the evening and we caught some of it as we were leaving. read more

The vibe of this place was really good -- it definitely feels like a fun spot for a party or group gathering. The atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite match the energy of the space. I ordered the birria taco, and it was very very salty -- to the point where it was hard to fully enjoy. My husband ordered the Wellington, and that dish was actually good, so it seems like some menu items are stronger than others. The service was okay. Overall, it's probably a great place if you're going for drinks and a fun night out, but based on the food we had, I personally wouldn't go back. read more

This place claims to be "upscale Mexican," but it really feels more like a spot for social-media photos than quality food. We had a kid with us, and there was basically nothing on the menu for children, so I wouldn't recommend it for families with kids under 10. We were visiting from out of town and picked this for a birthday dinner, but it ended up feeling very underwhelming and overpriced. We had salmon entree. the salmon tasted good, but the rest of the entrée lacked flavor and wasn't cooked well. We ordered a few extra sides hoping they'd help, but honestly none of them were good. The steak street tacos were also disappointing; the steak was super fatty and full of gristle. The fish tacos were okay. The crisp tortilla appetizer was good, and the Playboy Bunny drink was actually pretty tasty. Service was slow. Apparently this place is a popular birthday spot. We were there for a spontaneous birthday dinner and didn't realize this was the go-to place for that kind of thing. Overall, it's not worth the hype unless you're just there to take pictures. read more

The service was very poor. We have to keep asking for refills for our drinks and for to refill our chips and dip most of the time they would forget to bring our drinks. I felt the server could've been a lot more attentive. I would not go back there. the food was just OK nothing special. read more

Tostadas Prime - Passion Traicionera - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Let's start with the positives: We were seated right at our reservation time The murals are pretty The oysters Rockefeller were delicious... we had 18 The Mr Bubbles was tasty. The hallway to the bathroom is beautiful Now.. The surf and turf- all the vegetables, including the mashed potatoes were cold & undercooked. The 24k gold wrapped steak was over cooked.... Wasn't asked the temp preference either. We sent it back- it wasn't edible The street tacos- steak... i think we very specific- NO CILANTRO. It was brought out with all the cilantro i reminded the waiter... I was very clear. It took them another 10 minutes to remake it. The tortillas were a little dry. The meat was seasoned well. That's about all The sushi was just ok. It was missing something. We were the first table to be sat. Another woman came in after us. It still took 45 minutes to get our order and first appetizers. The service is quite slow. Overall the experience was very different from our first experience. It made it a very disappointing time, and for the drive it was quite challenging. read more

Tostadas Prime in Santa Clara was such a great experience. The vibe is fun and welcoming, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and well made. Everything came out looking good and tasting even better the flavors were on point and the portions were solid. Service was also really friendly and attentive, which made the whole visit even better. If you're in the area and want a good spot for Mexican food and drinks, I definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

Great place for big groups. Came here for a team dinner as a big group and they accommodated our preferences. We did tapas style. Al pastor was interesting! I did find the sides of the meat a little burnt, but overall it was well done with caramelized pineapples on the side. Ceviche was decent. The complementary chips and salsa were great! Thin, crispy purple corn chips, and flavorful vegan salsa read more

The vibe of Tostadas prime was nothing short of amazing. The foods from what I had tasted great, and that also translates to their alcoholic beverage as well. During the night I went they had a fire dance, and seeing that made my night as well because I've never seen that before. I had a ceviche mixto, and also tried their seafood enchiladas, and I recommend both dishes! read more

Incompetent structure on Mother's Day- We had an 8:15pm reservation for Mother's Day at Tostadas Prime in San Jose for 4 of us, including one pregnant guest. We arrived right on time and were told multiple times we'd have to wait. We weren't seated until 9:10pm -- almost an hour later. I don't understand the point of taking reservations if you're going to force a pregnant woman to stand around for an hour anyway. Once seated, our server greeted us once and then vanished. We had to flag down staff just to place an order. For a restaurant at this price point, that's unacceptable. When the food finally came, the quality was shocking given what we paid: * Fire Salmon Sushi Roll - $27: Found a hair in it. * $60 NY Steak + $30 "Prime" upgrade: Paid extra for it to be "prime" with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and a reduction poured over. Ordered medium, came out overcooked and tough. At $90 total, that should've been perfect. * Burger - $24: The patty was shockingly small -- literally smaller than the tomato and lettuce on it. * Calamari - $20: Rubbery, clearly overcooked, with a pile of loose batter at the bottom of the plate. * Guacamole: Completely bland, no flavor. The only redeeming part was the drinks. The Old Fashioned and cocktails were well-made. To the manager's credit, he was extremely professional. He comped all the problem items from our check and sent over complimentary shots to apologize for the 55-minute wait. I appreciate the gesture and it was clear he cared about making it right. Even after the comped items, we still paid $150 for 3 drinks, 2 appetizers, and a half-eaten steak pasta. That's outrageous for what we actually got. Free shots and comped food don't excuse hair in sushi, a $90 steak cooked wrong, and service that abandons your table. The structure of the restaurant feels incompetent -- there's no system for handling reservations, no communication, and no quality control in the kitchen. Being busy is one thing. Making a reserved table of 4, including a pregnant guest, wait an hour on Mother's Day, then failing on food and service, is another. For what Tostadas Prime charges, the food and service need to match the bill. Tonight, they didn't come close. I won't be back. read more

Honestly for it being Mother's Day you would expect a good structure. I'm honestly truly disappointed in the management. The fact that the hostess was left by himself in the front telling people they had to wait 30-50 minutes past their reservation time is absurd. Tried to speak with the manager several times and he completely walked past us several times. Beto, the manager needs to work on customer service and structure. The excuse was everyone needed to wait. So what is the point of a reservation.. honestly this was such a disappointment from the beginning. So if you do not want your time respected and want to wait forever I guess go here. And nothing was ever compt for the inconvenience. Never have I received this type of unprofessional before read more

Visiting with a friend who loved the place so I had a glass of sparkling wine with a half dozen oysters ... excellent I like my oyster enjoyed the dressing simple and good ..

I've been here about 3 years ago celebrating my boyfriend's birthday and was amazed at how nice this restaurant was. From decor, music, letter signs and sparklers? Chef's kiss!!!! Literally felt like I was in a club getting bottle service. It was no surprise to come back again to celebrate his birthday here. Came with a party of 10 for a reservation at 7:30 pm. Surprised that it was somewhat empty as the last time we came, it was also on a weekday and packed. We just assumed it was because we had an earlier dinner reservation and as the night went on, other parties were coming in. As for the food, we were given complimentary tortilla chips/ dip and also ordered a calamari appetizer which I DEVOURED. Can't go wrong with these. I also ordered the mini street tacos which come in 5 pieces compared to the birria tacos that only come with 3. It was good, but not to die for yk? It tasted a little plain and soggy, but their house sauce made it better. I get it's an upscale/ pricy restaurant with nice ambiance. But If you want BOMB tacos, you're better off going to a taco truck in downtown on a weekend at 11 pm. What I did not like was that they offer to take your pictures (if you're in a big group and LOTS of pictures) only for you to pay for both the picture and frame that they offered to take for you. I feel as if a simple question would've avoided this and wouldn't have went through all that hassle. On the bright side, I love their drinks. La toxica is good, but their lychee martini never fails me!!! Other establishments are stingy with their alcohol and barely taste it, while tostadas has a good balance between their liquor and mixes. Service was amazing. Servers and the manager always checked up on our table, asked if there was anything we needed, etc. Overall you're pretty much paying for the ambiance and the performances they do for celebrations. I'd honestly come back again to try other foods they offer. Another restaurant that I'd come for special occasions only. read more

We returned from dinner at Tostadas Prime and were surprised to receive an email from OpenTable stating that the restaurant marked us as a no-show, which was clearly incorrect. This has never happened to me before, as I've never missed or been late for a reservation. I hope they resolve this issue. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the service provided by Jay, who was professional, courteous, and displayed stellar communication skills. The food was generally above average, with our favorite dish being the skirt steak. I ordered the Enchiladas by the Sea, which I found a bit bland and could have used more seasoning, though the addition of carrots on the side was a nice touch. We also had guacamole, which we thought needed more salt, and the bread pudding, which was generously sized--so much so that we took most of it home. We appreciated the service, the ambiance, and the parking, which wasn't too difficult since the restaurant is located in a large plaza. There was a big birthday party happening during our visit, but overall, the restaurant was half-empty--likely because it was just after New Year's and many people might have been resting. read more

The food is expensive, but I think part of it is paying for the ambiance. They have a full bar against one wall, exposed kitchen area, and overall kind of a clubby lounge loud kind of restaurant. Inside is a cool looking modern Latin vibe restaurant with decorations on the walls. They have fire dancers on Friday and Saturday nights, which adds an extra element of entertainment to the dinner. For birthdays they bring out a sign and make noise to your table to make you feel special. Overall it was a good experience at least once. read more

Making a reservation was super easy and highly recommended! I didn't realize how popular this place would be on a Friday night. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and the employees were pleasant. The suede booths and table chairs with the dim lighting and neon signage gave a very modern and sexy ambiance. The food was actually really decent! Albeit in my opinion overpriced for what it is. I was shocked to see how diverse and vast the menu options were that had things like steak, pasta, tacos, and sushi! Our favorites were the birria tacos and the burrata and steak bites. Bursting with flavor and a good amount of food to share. Two things I took a star away for: the music became really loud at one point which isn't necessarily a bad thing because it adds to the fun environment but something to keep in mind if you actually enjoy talking during your meal. The larger thing I thought was odd was when I ordered a casamigos and soda they ended up charging me $2 for soda water with each drink. I thought that was strange... usually you get soda added in at no cost when you order premium liquor. So I probably won't be doing that again here. Vibes were definitely on point and our server was really good about checking in on us frequently. Honestly, this place is really fun and worth a visit. read more

On a Friday night, my friends and I decided to go out dinner keeping it a chill night! We were really indecisive on what to eat and one of my friends recommended this place. Didn't know what to exactly when arriving. We made online reservations just in case it was a long wait, I mean it is a Friday night. Walking in was such a sight to see, music was bumping, party lights, with beautiful art on the walls. It really tied all together it gave club vibe but was actually a restaurant! Definitely not your average restaurant I personally loved it! Perfect for a birthday celebration, would come out with a flaring candle with a birthday shots for your table. It could come on a skull, bull, or deer antlers soooo lit!!! They come out with a party sign just like in the club! Definitely will be back for a birthday celebration! It was a little packed when we arrived, but luckily we had made reservations on the website. We waited for about 10 minutes for a table to be ready. We were seated our waiter. I forgot his name. I'm horrible with names. But he was so helpful he broke down the menu for us. He had recommendations, he described the best meals most of them were on which I thought were amazing. I loved everything about this place! I will definitely come back with my bby when go out for a date night! read more

We've only went to the tostadas on Santa Clara street and we've had tostadas prime on our list for quite some time. We had amazing service - almost too attentive lol we were asked multiple times if we were getting what we needed. It was awesome. We ordered oysters on the half shell for an appetizer. Everyone automatically gets chips and bean dip on their table - the dip is ok, but would prefer a spicier salsa. The wagyu sushi was amazing- my only complaint was that it was too big to fit in my mouth lol. If you're not into spicy, do note they have fresh jalapeños on them- it was fine for me but not so much for my husband (he took them off). The Cesar salad was good- do note that they don't do any side salads so you will have to order entre size. The steak was amazing! I had a few bites of my husbands and it was heavenly. The ambiance was like a nightclub - and it looks like they do a whole big thing for birthdays - not sure if that costs extra but was very cool. They had a fire dancer - not sure if that is every day or just Saturdays. All- in - all can't wait to go back! read more

This place had changed from a nice Mexican restaurant with nothing unexpected to a classy Mexican place with a really interesting dining experience. We ordered a couple of stake plates that came with meat that was so incredibly tender with crazy seasoning, topped with grilled green onions. Expecting the traditional experience, we brought our own 0 carb tortillas, which they happily took it into the back and heated for us. They loved our feedback so much that they brought us a couple of Oyster Rockafellers on the house for desert. This place is so worth checking out - it's a really different, classy Mexican experience I've not experienced anywhere else. Check it out! read more

Place was small but nice. The ambiance/vibe was cool. Came here for a family birthday dinner. I like how they come out with sparklers and a birthday sign. I ordered one of their cocktails which was pretty. It was more sweet, don't really taste any alcohol if you're into that. For my meal, I ordered the wagyu surf and turf roll. It was okay and not worth the price. The rolls were cut thick, so you have a mouth full of rice. The rice was dry, like stale. The menu made it sound like it had a lot of filling but it was not filled as the description. I also didn't taste much flavor from it like you would at other sushi restaurants. I have heard from other people the food is okay and I agree. This place is more of a hype on social media but I don't think it's worth the money for food. Service was okay. Waiter did keep checking up. However, the people cleaning the table would take our plates away even with some food left and didn't ask if we were finished? The man would say excuse me and take the plate away. They also act like they don't hear you. Also, for some reason people come into this restaurant dressed like their going to the club. Be prepared to see half naked women and dressed up men. read more

At the bar: all the drinks are a little higher priced than normal but come with a presentation. Video is of the Mexican Old Fashioned Restaurant: The food is like upscale Mexican fusion. Don't trust the steak will be the quality matching the high price but maybe another time.

Not understanding the low reviews . . . A buddy and I went last night and sat at the bar, slow night and got plenty of great attention. Goal was to try as many things as possible, as I want to bring a larger group in a couple weeks. SUCCESS. Food was on point, hot and delicious with very nice presentation (unusual for Mexican food). We had multiple appetizers, with the stand out being the cheese and chorizo, we had the shrimp as well (very good). Fish tacos were also quite good, the portions were sufficiently large; thought we would get to a steak, but didn't happen . . . Ended with sushi. Noticed some reviews criticizing the sushi, it was FINE. We are at a Mexican place trying to give options, we are not at a sushi-ya where the expectation is fine grade sashimi flown in from Japan daily. Excellent tequila selection and we will be returning! read more

Review for July 19 (Sorry I'm late) Came here with a bunch of my colleagues and this place did not disappoint! The fire dancer and bottle service made everything so fun. I forgot to take a picture, but I got the 14oz Outside Skirt and it was very flavorful and tender. I was surprised when I saw sushi on the menu so I have to try that for another day. The food came out in a timely manner for our big party and I can speak for all of us that we had a good time at Tostadas Prime. The ambiance was pretty chill with loud music, it felt just like being at a night club, but with better food. As for drinks, I recommend their Guava-Yaba-Doo and Pasion Traicionera! It gets pricey when you start ordering bottle service, but you're mostly paying for the experience. read more

Went here with some coworkers. The ambiance is that of the, Day of the Dead. We started out with 12 oysters, calamari and guacamole. Everything was tasty. We all ordered the 20oz wagyu ribeye. Before the steak comes out the sever brings a box of steak knives for us to choose our own knife. The steak had rosemary on top and butter. The steak cut so easy and was so soft when it hit my mouth. The only downside was there was a lot of fat. They also had a lady walking around with fire sticks and putting the fire sticks in her mouth. I also noticed another couple ordering the largest steak and they brought the steak out on the cutting board and let the cutting board on fire. This place has a lot of great theatrics. Since it was someone's birthday, the server brought out four shots served in a glass bull. What a fun night. I will be back. read more
